Important Note on Editing Existing Categories

Updated on March 24, 2025

Once categories are created, they cannot be directly converted from a top-level category to a subcategory (or vice versa), and sub and sub-subcategories cannot be assigned to a different parent category within the admin panel.

These type of changes are still possible while there are no members assigned to the categories yet. follow these steps:

  1. Export your category list as a CSV file from the Member Category Actions menu.
  2. Edit the structure in a spreadsheet.
  3. Reimport the modified file into the system.

If members are already assigned to categories, this process requires additional database adjustments using SQL queries to ensure proper member-category relationships.
